Settling the Odd Trick - A Satirical Glimpse into 18th Century Women's Hairstyles and Gaming Mania

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by Frederick William Fairholt in 1778, offers a humorous and scathing commentary on two prevalent aspects of society during the Georgian era - women's extravagant hairstyles and the obsession with gaming. The image is part of Thomas Wright's "Caricature History of the Georges or, Annals of the House of Hanover" which compiled various satirical artworks from that time. In this scene, we witness a heated dispute unfolding amidst an elegant parlor setting. Women adorned with outrageously towering hairstyles engage in a fierce argument over a game they are playing. Their elaborate costumes and fashionable dresses reflect the trends of that era. The artist skillfully captures not only their anger but also highlights one of the seven deadly sins - wrath. The intensity of their emotions is palpable as they quarrel over who has won or lost in this particular round. Fairholt's satire cleverly mocks both women's fashion choices and society's addiction to gambling. It serves as a reminder that even during times when leisure activities were highly valued, excessive indulgence could lead to bitter disputes and emotional turmoil. This print provides us with valuable insights into British culture at that time while showcasing how art can be used to critique societal norms. It remains an intriguing historical artifact that invites contemplation on human behavior, pastimes, and our ever-present struggle against our own vices.
